I have a catbird who follows me around the house, but I'm "inside". He watches me through the window! He or she is hilarious. If he sees movement, even our (indoor) cats get a close-up view of this beautiful and charming bird. He doesn't holler at us, he chirps in a friendly manner. If we go outside, he follows us at a distance of about 5-6 feet. He's not afraid, and we talk to him. Last few years it was a Carolina Wren that followed us and nested outside the backdoor, but we made renovations, so she's gone, but around the yard somewhere.

I enjoyed your original post. Thank you.
